How to install.

You're likely to have to fully wipe and fully format the data partition again.
I have been using Open Gapps for testing (ARM64 pico variant)
If you don't follow the above I can't help you :)

What works


All of the main stuff.

Calls
Camera
GPS
Bluetooth
Wifi
NFC

What's still to do.

It's basically AOSP at the moment, there are no real customisations yet, they will come... but no ETA!
Gestures/Squeeze etc see above.

What doesn't work?

Probably lots of things I don't use... You tell me...

Changelog

Alpha 1
* Initial Release
Alpha 2
* Audio fixes
* USB tethering should work
* Started working over sepolicy
Alpha 3
* November security patch
* Selinux enforcing
* Probably other stuff...
Alpha 4
* December security patch
* fixed a couple of sepolicy denials (thanks The_Walking_Playground,ValKyre for testing)
Alpha 5
* Tweaked the auto brightness settigns (quicksettings bar should behave now)
* Disabled Interaction boost for now, there were some strange times it was sticking.
Alpha 6
Re-enabled interaction boost
Advanced reboot menu.
Alpha 7
January security patch
Switched to Tomascus's new kernel (non-EAS version)
Merged a big chunk of Tomascus's device tree changes. (see Here)

Alpha 8 *READ CAREFULLY*

Time has been short recently, so other than merging in the March security update basically all of the device updates and kernel updates are from Tomascus (unofficial lineage builds)
I had a strange issue dirty flashing this myself, It had been flashed over a couple of hundred times in testing... all of the settings categories were all jumbled up, no amount of clearing cache/deleting app data seemed to fix it. A clean flash did. It may have only been me, just be aware.

March security patch
Switched to Tomascus's EAS Kernel
Device tree updated with many of Tomascus's changes

Alpha 9

April security updates
Synced more stuff from Tomascus/updated kernel to latest see device tree etc.
Not sure if the settings issue going between alpha 6->7 is still there as I ended up wiping.

I’ll use this post to note the reported bugs.

It helps when reporting bugs to follow the Bug Reporting steps:
https://slimroms.org/#/support/report-bugs
Make sure you have properly installed ADB
Plug your device to your Computer
Open up a command prompt on your Computer
Type the following (without the quotes): “adb logcat -d > logcat.txt”
Either attach it to your post or report it via the above link.

1. Android Auto – Blank screen when unlocking. No audio. Possibly relates to reported issues with Google Play Services and seems to relate to Android P, not this specific build. Fix is said to be incoming.
2. Issues with SIM2 – Flinny only has a single sim device. Please report these issues with logcat so they can be looked into.
3. Brightness slider – Works from 50-100% Under 50 shows no difference. Can confirm this, but at 50% it is at its lowest.
4. OK Google – For me, and many others obviously, OK google does not work or is grayed out. I flashed this https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=385035244224414620 in TWRP and it is back to working.
5. 3.5mm adapter – It appears it may be a kernel issue and is being looked into. Works a few times then requires reboot to fix.
6. Random reboots – I have just noticed that if adaptive brightness is turned off, it will freeze randomly. Sometimes its within minutes, sometimes an hour. Ill gather a log or two when I can.
7. Audio issues - Seems to be a codec issue. I use vlc without issue. Seems streaming services work fine.

Thanks for all your work.
The ROM feels great, but there's one problem:
The capacitive hardware navigation buttons won't react toward long press (including home button).

Which means I can't access Google assistant by home button, and can't split screen by recent button.

I'm using Buttons Remapper to solve it somehow.
